Description |
Tumbling Blocks (Cross variation) quilt. The three-sided blocks are pieced from diamond shapes and are surrounded by flattened hexagons, which are used to create the anterior cross and backmost hourglass shapes. The design appears to "float" on the blue fabric background. Outline quilting frames the hexagonal pieces, and double parallel lines form diamonds on the background. Two-star clusters are quilted in each of the four corners, and there is a black binding. Fabrics used include solids and prints in cotton, wool, silk and mohair fibers. |
